  • Hemple Product Deck
    In the deck • Our story • Hemple Protein Range • Hemple Extra Virgin Oil • Hemple on shelf • Innovation pipeline • Marketing & PR • Indicative pricing THE HEMPLE STORY Food is in our founder, Cade Turland’s, blood. With a diary farming background, growing up in Bowral NSW, Cade and his foodie family have always appreciated seasonal food and the farms on which it’s grown. This appreciation turned into a passion for the Turlands, starting the Depot cafe in North Bondi 11 years ago. Brother, chef Guy Turland, the face behind YouTube sensation turned popular cafe chain Bondi Harvest, made his start at the Depot. Today, run by chef Clint Turland, it’s a long-standing community favourite, known for its low profile, high quality eats. Locals will know matriarch, Heather Turland from the cafe as a smiling face with an unstoppably fit physique. At 40 she won the 1996 Commonwealth Games women’s marathon. Her passion for fitness is another trait that runs in the family. After a successful career in school boys rowing taking him to win the Australian Championships, and then to Henley, Cade became an AIF qualified personal trainer grew a keen interest in whole food sports nutrition. Looking at overseas food trends, Cade developed an interest in hemp, seeing an opportunity to introduce Australians to a versatile superfood, with a positive environmental profile. Using his unique combination of skills, for the last 18 months Cade has built a reliable supply chain, assembled a team of supporting experts as invested shareholders and developed category leading hemp foods products. The Hemple ethos is to bring sustainable, local, plant-based nutrition into Australian homes.

Various oriental and Asian cultures kept records of its production and numerous uses. Due to the similarities between industrial hemp (fiber and grain) and the narcotic/medical type of Cannabis, the production of industrial hemp was prohibited in most countries, wiping out centuries of learning and genetic resources. In the past two decades, most countries have legalized industrial hemp production, prompting a significant amount of research on the health benefits of hemp and hemp products. Current research is yet to verify the various health claims of the numerous commercially available hemp products.

  • Tetrahydrocannabinol Levels Are Too High in Many Hemp-Containing Foods - Health Impairments Are Possible
    www.bfr.bund.de DOI 10.17590/20181128-152745-0 Tetrahydrocannabinol levels are too high in many hemp-containing foods - health impairments are possible BfR Opinion No 034/2018 of 8 November 2018 Various hemp-containing foods are available on the market. These include tea-like herbal mixtures consisting entirely or partially of hemp leaves. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) has assessed the risk of psychogenic and pharmacological effects for all population groups, including children, through the consumption of hemp-containing foods containing customary levels of tetrahydrocannabinol as determined by the monitoring authorities. On the basis of the available data, BfR comes to the following conclusion: consumption of hemp-containing foods with the total ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (∆9-THC) levels on which the calculation is based can lead to an exceedance of the acute reference dose (ARfD) of 0.001 milligrams (mg) per kilogram body weight proposed by EFSA. This acute reference dose describes the quantity of ∆9-THC which can be ingested in the short term without the expectation of any psychomotor and psychogenic effects. Consuming hemp- containing foods, it is also possible that ∆9-THC doses could be ingested which lie within the range of the doses of ≥ 2.5 milligrams (mg) per person and day used in pharmaceutical products. In this case, pharmacological effects would be expected. As the occurrence of psychomotor effects such as reduced reaction capability or tiredness has to be expected in this dose range, restrictions in a person’s ability to drive or operate a dangerous piece of machinery may result from the consumption of foods containing hemp.

  • Health Benefits: Hemp Milk
    Healthy Foods Health Benefits: Hemp Milk Taken from: www.livestrong.com/article/512124-what-are-the-benefits-of-hemp-milk With 140 calories, 5 grams of fat and 3 grams of protein per cup, hemp milk is a nutritious alternative to cow's milk, especially if you can't eat dairy foods for allergy or medical reasons. Original hemp milk, which is made from soaking and grinding hemp seed in water, is low in saturated fat and supplies a wealth of vitamins and minerals, including calcium. There are a couple of drawbacks to consider, however, before deciding if hemp milk has a place in your diet. Health Benefits Calcium and Phosphorus: Like cow's milk, hemp milk contains calcium, a nutrient essential for healthy bones and teeth. A cup of original or vanilla hemp milk contains half of the 1,000 milligrams of calcium healthy adults need each day. The same amount of chocolate, original unsweetened or unsweetened vanilla hemp milk each have one-third of the calcium you need for the day. Hemp milk is also a good source of phosphorus, a nutrient essential for healthy bones, and a cup contains between 20 percent and 35 percent of the 700 milligrams of phosphorus healthy adults need each day. B Vitamins and Vitamin D: Any flavor of hemp milk supplies a good dose of B vitamins, such as riboflavin and thiamin, which help you convert the food you eat into energy. A cup of any flavor of hemp milk also supplies one-quarter of the 2.4 micrograms of vitamin B-12 you need each day.
